Subtly sneak in classic rock songs at a wedding

dr.bollocko

Hello,

Got a classical guitarist hired and we're looking to get him to play a few songs, a few classics during the ceremony.

Was trying to think of what would sound good on one acoustic guitar?

vicwatson

Stairway to Heaven

Check out this !

dr.bollocko

Oh well yeah.

I mean stairway's a given.

I play the first 4 seconds of that song so well it's actually indistinguishable from the album.

You couldn't tell where Jimmy ends and I begin.

Who wouldn't want to walk down the isle to Classical Gas!

Dunno if its your bag (might not be just classic enough yet) but Nothing Else Matters or the Unforgiven by Metallica were pretty much made for knowing acoustic versions.

A friend of mine had Nothing Else Matters as her first dance song. INXS - Never Tear Us Apart?

Mine too, actually, now I think about it.

Poor Uncle Tom

It has to be Bohemian Rhapsody on one acoustic, it's kinda like the Amish version of Speedway, but it's memorable at least........:pac:

Gonna throw this out there. Sounds cool and unless you really know the song you'll never guess this without the lyrics.

Am I doing this right? :pac:

General Relativity

Sounds amazing acoustic.

Should call the tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and houses of the holy.

big b

I still think Wish You Were Here would be good.........especially if Mrs Doc - to -be is more than fashionably late

Anyway, this............

I got approval for 1 2 3 4 but not houses of the holy.

Beruthiel

Think this Eric Clapton song is a little gem.

Check out Igor Presnyakov on Youtube

Mickeroo

Freebird complete with a 20 minute long solo, perfect for during communion.

Closer to the Heart by Rush also lends itself to a decent acoustic verison.

SubBusted

Not The Real Scarecrow

Had Uncle****er from SouthPark played at our wedding. Fun Watching the elderly relatives looking confused. Also managed to sneek in Lacuna Coil and a bit of Metallica

Got a really good classical guitarist and he got going to california in as well as stairway.

The whole drinks reception afterward he played classical versions of classic rock songs. But I didn't get to hear any of them goddammit because I was out getting photos taken!

There's only one reply to that:

Congratulations, Doctor & Mrs Bollocko

It's gotta be wonderwall, then followed by stairway to heaven..

Seriously though, if he played this for her, she'd never leave ya..
